Plan to create a beautiful painting, and bring some old paintings that could use some sprucing up. The watercolor doctor is here to remedy your painting ills!
Supplies to bring:

1 tube each color listed below of artist grade paint – I recommend Winsor Newton, or Daniel Smith. Please, no student grade paints. The following colors are recommended, but if you have others that are your favorites, stick to them. You will need a cool and a warm of each of the primary colors:

French Ultramarine, (cool)

Manganese blue or Cerulean, (warm)

Idanthrone blue or Prussian blue (dark)

Lemon Yellow or Hansa Yellow, (cool)

New Gamboge, (warm)

Quinacridone gold (dark)

Quinacridone Rose (cool)

Vermillon or Scarlet Lake (warm)

Perylene Maroon or Alizarin Crimson (dark)

Optional: Olive green, Moonglow

A #4 round or equivalent small brush, #8 round brush or equivalent medium brush - preferably a blend of synthetic and natural. Brushes will be your most expensive purchase, but good brushes will last and make a better painting. Check out the Mimik Kolinsky brushes and the Black Velvet brushes. If you are unsure, get a sales person to help you with this.

A 1” (or larger) flat brush – You can find this in Mimik Kolinsky as well.

Palette and/or mixing tray. Not the little egg dishes; they don’t have enough room to make good puddles.
